Head of OCU recognizes notorious “chaplain” responsible for seizure of UOC churches in Bukovina

The head of the OCU, Epiphany Dumenko, received the notorious “chaplain” Roman Hryshchuk, responsible for organizing the raider seizures of churches of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the Chernivtsi region. Dumenko presented Hryshchuk with the book “With God is Victory” and discussed with the raider “topical issues of the life of the OCU.” Hryshchuk himself reported this on his page on the social network Facebook.

“We had a fruitful conversation with our spiritual father, the Primate of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, Metropolitan Epifaniy! We discussed topical issues in the life of our Church and the problems of the publishing house. I thank His Beatitude for his advice, support, prayers, and a valuable gift!”, — Hryshchuk wrote.

Earlier we reported that Roman Hryshchuk, who oversees the raider seizures of churches of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Bukovyna, was awarded the All-Ukrainian Ogienko Prize. The raider became a laureate in the category “Socio-political and spiritual activity”.
